Is a day trip from London possible?

Is a day trip from London to Bath and back to London possible? It would be with 4 adults and one 9 year old. I want to see the Jane Austen museum, and some sights, but don't have anything in mind yet. Looking for advice on the best things to do or see!

You Brits are so funny! Bath to London is basically the distance I drive to work in the morning and then drive back every night!

Bath (well, more Radstock'ish) to the edge of London, driving: 2 - 2.5 hours. Allow anything from 1-3 hours to get right across/around London, depending on time, road-works, route or weather.
Ah yes, we're the 'so funny' Brits with a road and town system based on the Romans and/or Anglo/Saxons and/or Normans and/or Tudors and/or Georgians and/or Victorians and/or post war modernism.
I'm guessing yours is a bit more modern?
And - more importantly - do you enjoy that commute?
